    Don't mess with Texas

    New Sportrider came today. There's a great article on Edwards' riding school.

    Dirtbike school, Saloon / hotel, shooting range, go-karts, paintball, etc etc.

    When are we going?! NESR group trip?

    A friend did the American Classic Racing one (think I got the name right) and said it was the most fun he's had but the Edwards one looks incredible.

    I read that too, interesting concept, similar to the Kenny Roberts ranch in Spain.
    I travel to that area often and may have to check it out but I bet it's pricey!

    that's for the 4 day camp and includes pretty much everything, bike, gear, accommodations, food, plus the extra curricular activities.

    there's also 1 and 2 day camps for a lot less.

    I read the Roadracing World article a while back... sounds like a cool place... ripping dirtbikes around w/cut slicks for rears in the sand... great way to develop better feel for sliding the rear.

    Richie: Next time I go (bringing JRO this time) it's for a private camp, not a public one. :-/ Sorry bud. 1st time I went was normal public camp. I think...maybe.. I'll let you know. Maybe I'll go twice this year and bring JRO to public camp not private camp.

    Heh. Guns.. This is typical picture at Colin's house. Just your normal entry way table.

    Re: Don't mess with Texas

    Again, worth noting, camp is all inclusive

    - Gear
    - Lodging
    - Food
    - Bikes
    - Guns
    - Ammo
    - Paintball
    - Karting
    - Music
    - Pictures
    - MONSTER ENERGY
    - Rides to airport

    helps break the cost down.
